oops! I meant almond extract!

Thanks for your response! It is nice to know I am not alone, and that other people can sympathize with me concerning my insensitve family members. I totally admire the people who can say what they REALLY feel. Maybe one of these days I will find the courage. I want to get My Birthday Back too!

The Pumpkin cake was so yummy and so easy! I thought it tasted like pumpkin pie because it was so moist. I helped my Mom make it to make sure it was gluten-free. I found these new mixes that I REALLY like, and I get them at Native Sun. The brand is Hodgson Mill. I have had the chocolate chip cookies, brownies, and yellow cake, and loved them all. Anyway...

So, I am a Loser! I wasn't able to stand up to my familly and tell them I didn't want them cooking for me. My Mother in law called and said she had the whole meal and dessert planned out, and I "chickened out" and said it would be fine. I stayed out of the kitchen the whole time, and acted like I wasn't Nervous, (even though I was). The meal was really...

Great Idea - We all LOVE Outback!

You are SWEET!!! I know......I keep thinking that we just need to plan trips for Holidays......it would be SO MUCH easier! If only I was rich - I'd be in Hawaii for every Birthday!

I am so happy that I found this forum!!! I feel better already! I am always SO WORRIED about hurting people's feelings that I don't even get to have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I'm done! I am definitely going to use some of your suggestions. It might be a pain in the butt, but I might just make some really cool gluten free dessert and then have everyone over to...

I am totally stressing out! Tomorrow is my Birthday. Every year, for as long as I can remember, my family and my husband's family, always cook me a Birthday Dinner with all of our family over. This was GREAT before my Celiac diagnosis! I am Gluten, dairy, soy, peanut, and egg free - BUT none of my family members understand this, and some of them don...

My hardest time is when my family goes out to dinner. We all used to look forward to getting that warm bread on our table. I refuse to make my family go without the delicious bread, so I always seem to over do it with drinks while they are eating it. I do the same thing at family social events. I am always sad that I can't have the food they are all eating...

Thanks for the replies! It's definitely weird - I quit eating the hemp milk and hemp milk ice-cream, and a week later my hair was already getting softer, and I was feeling a little better. I just don't understand WHY I would react to hemp like that. I started using Good Karma milk, but still don't totally trust them. They say that their vanilla milk is...

I have had celiac disease for about 4 years now. I also have a lot of other food allergies. Still to this day, I totally freak out when anyone offers to cook for me. It doesn't happen very often, so I normally just try to grin and bear it, and hope everyhting goes ok. But, it causes me great anxiety, and I usually end up not feeling good. A lot of my...

So, I have had this crazy Celiac Disease for about 4 years now. I have been through SO MANY ups and downs. I get better - I get worse - I get better - I get worse! I also can't tolerate dairy or soy, and I am always looking for new options for milk and my very FAVORITE food in the whole world - ICE CREAM. Rice Dream makes me TOTALLY SICK. I can't do...

I just started taking Symbion this week. I have Celiac Disease and Candida. I also have a history of chronic back-pain. However, my back pain has been very mild for the last 6 months. When I started taking the Symbion, my back pain got really bad again, and I am having spasms up and down my spine constantly. I don't get it. I read so many GREAT things...

I have been doing this whole gluten free thing for almost 3 years now. I have learned to accept it, but I just CAN'T believe how difficult it has made my life. And, after all the explaining I have done to my family, I CAN'T believe that they STILL don't get it. My Dad still thinks most of it is in my head (even though I was like a walking skeleton and...

ARCHIVED "But You Can Eat Whole Wheat, Right?"
Lexi replied to earthtoneNJ's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
These are all making me laugh. I was in Native Sun a few months ago, and I went to the counter to ask if a certain product was gluten free. The lady said, "no honey, gluten is mainly just in grasses". I didn't even respond. However, I do LOVE Native Sun, and they are Usually very well informed there. -
ARCHIVED Captain Jack's Parrot Bay Coconut Rum
Lexi posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I made a drink with this the other night, and it was Incredible!!! It was simply the coconut rum, pineapple juice, and grenadine. But, so yummy, especially if you like Pina Coladas. I checked on line and found several random sources that said this rum was gluten free, but could not get a response from the company when I wrote to them. I felt sick for the... -
ARCHIVED Enough! I Just Need It All To Stop!
Lexi replied to book-worm's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I understand!!! I really need to vent sometimes too (Luckily I have a very understanding husband). My family was so supportive at first (those who believed me, that is), but now it's like they just don't want to hear about it anymore. I know what you mean, I NEVER know how the day is going to be when I open my eyes in the morning. It's so frustrating... -
ARCHIVED Did You Have A Trigger That Started Your Symptoms?
Lexi replied to afreeclimber74's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I ate whatever I wanted until 3 years ago - but I always had Very Strange eating habits (because of eating disorders). I took a trip to Vegas and ate a lot of foods that I wouldn't normally eat. I also decided to get my first tattoo. I got sick the day I got home from my trip, and have never been the same since. I had extreme back pain, and pain through... -
Bonefish Grill is one of my Absolute Favorites!!! I Love the Florida Cobb Salad with extra mango and avacado!

Gosh, this lifestyle is just so frustrating!!! I spent my whole summer sick because I was drinking Rice Dream milk, and finally started to get better a few months ago. Now I spent my whole Christmas Holiday sick again. I was so excited when I ordered some Hot Chocolate with mint from The Endangered Species Website. I was drinking it every afternoon as...

ARCHIVED Finally Found Part Of The Problem
Lexi replied to Lexi's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
I am going to try those other milks you mentioned. I LOVE the coconut milk, but it seems to make me gain weight. I got some hemp milk to try, but I don't think I am going to like it. I have tried hemp in other things, and did not like it. -
I spent my ENTIRE summer feeling sick and in pain!!! When summer started, in May, I started using Rice Dream Vanilla Rice Milk. I liked it, and it was a good replacement for milk in my cereal since I can't have dairy. I heard conflicting things about Rice Dream, so I called the company, and they assured me that it was Gluten Free. I have a lot of heatlth...

I am having a scary problem. For the last couple of days I have had bright red blood in my bowel movements. The Cancer word immediately popped into my head. However, I tried a new product called Stop Constipation by Renew Life last week, and I have used it a couple of times. It's supposed to be an all natural way to stay regular, but could this possibly...
